Grim Reality?
By Jane Sutton
MIAMI (Reuters) - The busiest and costliest Atlantic hurricane season on record finally ends on Wednesday but meteorologists cautioned that it may be years before the tropical Atlantic settles down.

"You bet I'm worried about next year, and several years after that," Max Mayfield, director of the U.S. National Hurricane Center, told a news conference.
"We have six months to prepare for the 2006 hurricane season. It's reality. We've got to deal with that."
